A.CRE worth it?
I’ve seen a few threads on it but was hoping to gather some more information on it. I was thinking about doing the cheapest option.
Is it worth it? How much did it increase your skill sets?
I’ve done some of the REFM but didn’t really like the content so was hoping this would be different.
Would appreciate any anecdotal experience with the course and what you got from it. It’s kinda expensive so would greatly appreciate it!
It's helpful for anyone but the most seasoned and well-versed underwriters. How helpful depends on where your current knowledge of RE stands.
I signed up through my Masters program and was able to get a discount for the core curriculum. I found it invaluable as I work in a niche asset class and don’t have much exposure to other asset classes within real estate. The course definitely helped with that and with my modeling skills.
I preferred break into CRE with Justin Kivel. I found the explanations to be more intuitive and easier to follow.
Yes. The cheapest option was 599 I believe. Both Spencer and Michael are talented. I especially enjoyed the latters development/construction modeling. My only complaints would be the 2nd gen base rent modeling was difficult to understand. Also, they like to use boolean logic which would return true or false (1 or 0) I prefer IF statements.
Personally, I prefer REFM to all others. Good luck!
Competed REFAI and currently taking A.CRE core curriculum. A.CRE is far more applicable and cuts out the BS stuff REFAI force feeds you.
100% would recommend A.CRE
How long’s A.CRE case study meant to be? It took me a a good few hours to complete…. Feeling like shit
Looking for peoples input on timing as well
Has anyone done the specialized endorsements beyond the core package? Curious if any of them are worth it
Best online course to take on RE modelling? BIWS vs. REFM vs A.CRE? Curious for everyone's thoughts.
I just finished the 4th section of the advanced accelerator of A.CRE and am enjoying it so far. Has definitely helped me with my modeling skills. They give good information and show you how to model in many different ways. Would recommend.
Haven’t taken anything outside of A.CRE. I think it’s an amazing program because of its depth, what makes it challenging is if you try to cram through it. If you take your time which will make it a long commitment, you will learn so much, and not even just real estate but your excel shortcut game and the things you learn you can do in excel will improve dramatically.
Have you seen a direct translation into real life? If so, what are they?
ACRE’s accelerator has major pros and cons to me as a working professional:
1.) when I rebuilt my teams UW models, their way of building the rent roll calcs greatly influenced my final commercial model.
2.) for the amount of money I spent, the fact it is time gated is absurd. Not being able to go back to reference certain things is slightly annoying. I probably got my money’s worth on enough and if I was in school or early on and had more time, I would say it is worth it.
